After quite a dry spell I am back with the computer again. I am bigfrank now instead of hardwood for the last ten or more years, but the same old warmed over guy. Even though I don't have any tractors, or equipment left after a closing out sale last fall I still enjoy learning about new things and meeting new people, so here we go.

Glad to hear from you again, I was just about to send out the search party

Thank you guys for the welcome back. I guess I'm like a puppy dog I have to go round and round and round top make my nest. I think I've got things in order now, I could have did this sooner, but you know how it is the day gets past and I haven't did anything yet.

Hey, glad you are back. Will miss "Hardwood". How is your bride? kt

Thanks Willie and KT.

The Mrs. says I was a hoarder, and I guess she is correct. I can't have a shed full of greasy old Farmall parts here in an apartment, so being I always have to be collecting something I'm collecting stamps now. Not quite as thrilling as greasy junk, but it is collecting I guess.
The tractor days will never fade for me so I'll hang around and be a nuscance once in a while, OK.

Frank.

And just what is a Hoarder? I have seen the shows on tv and had an aunt that it fit with room after room filled with print in all forms. But tractor parts are not junk that negatively affect life. They are necessary replacements parts, either today or tomorrow or a friend (not known yet who) will surely need. How can that be HOARDING?

Frank, I am sorry for missing this: You are not a HOARDER, you are a PREPERR!

Big difference there.

Another downfall of apartment living is there is no room to stash a years worth of canned goods and a giant water tank. I guess when the end comes I'll have to be one of the first ones to go. Fortunately we have a nuke power plant about 10 miles as the crow flies, so when she goes kaboom, I'll just evaporate, not lay and kick for a week.
